worship

i don't realize how much i miss leading until i've had a long stint without it. i had one of the most freeing experiences leading tonight. it was progressive dinner and the seniors wanted alastair and i to lead. i was shocked that they wanted us because they've had some great leaders lately, but nontheless i was very honored. i might need to find a job doing this...

hotel

so i'm sitting in a hotel room waiting for class to start. i'm thinking what life would be like if this was how i was to live for most of my days. it's not bad, but it's not good. i would love to play music for a living, and i wouldn't mindliving out of suitcases in hotels. the only difference would be that there would be PEOPLE AROUND.

movie

me and a couple of friends are writing a movie...

it's going to be good

a crime drama
with lots of action and suspense

it's going to be good

some of the songs that inspired it are as follows:

"Feelin' Good" - Michael Bublè (killer opening sequence)
"God's Gonna Cut You Down" - Johnny Cash
"Mad World" - Gary Jules (this song is going to play during a fight scene in slow motion)
"Sowing Season (Yeah)" - Brand New
"Welcome to the Black Parade" - My Chemical Romance
"Halloween" - Dave Matthews Band
"Don Gon Do It" - The Rapture
"Go-Go Gadget Gospel" - Gnarls Barkley
"Keeping the Blade" - Coheed & Cambria
"Matches" - The Format

so listen to that and you'll get the feeling of our movie.

TWLOHA

to write LOVE on her arms

a year ago, a guy named jamie wrote a story. a story of love and compassion towards someone that didn't know what love was. it's been a year since the story was written and the story and it's impact has grown to unbelievable heights. the story was of a girl named renee who was battling depression and addiction and also dealt with cutting. (to read the story go to TWLOHA.com). all it took was some shirts and LOVE. i felt for this organization the minute i read the story. they believe in LOVE and that LOVE is the movement. they're on tour and are going around with Anberlin, Bayside, Meg & Dia, and Jonzetta, and all they are doing is showing LOVE. they're not pressuring people, not pushing a product, nor denying anyone. LOVE is what they're doing. GOD is LOVE and they're are showing GOD through their LOVE. a year ago LOVE became the movement and it is the movement.

check them out, read the story, and decide if you want to join in.

the sammy carmike trio played CSU's talent show last night. we didn't win, but we won over a crowd we never thought we would. it goes to show, funny is colorblind.

at the red light

is the name of my musical outlet... not funny stuff about mexican food making you explode, but real musical outlet. we have a song called "you gotta buy your friends" that sounds kinda like the hives-ish, alternative scratchy sounding and it will be awesome to play that one live. it's all about frats and sororities and buying your friends (clever i know). our next song is called "pop goes the weasle" and it's kinda late 60's beatles. it's all about just getting tired of the same old boring life, and the chorus is a four part harmony on an "ah," so good. and our next song, "yoknapatawpha county" (anyone get the reference), was written on a dreary day. it's very folksie and has a very low, beat down feel to it. jeremiah's grandad calls it our "slave song," and for lack of a better term it's stuck. we have yet to find our "sound," but i think we recently found it... one word... hyphenated twice... are you ready? ELECTRO-ALTERNA-POP! synths and stuff... so good. i'm currently saving up money to get an m-audio midi controller, so we can play live. i'm excited, we're gonna go places!
